Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication

Beautiful, self contained accommodation in Galle Fort that provided a nice home away from home. We stayed here for 2 nights 26-27 Dec). Nicely tucked away near the entrance of the fort and behind the main streets so away from most of the hustle and noise, though still central to the main Fort attractions. It was nice to come back here after walking around the busy streets and exploring, and a luxury having so much space, two bedrooms especially, and the washing machine/dryer. Service from Gihan was also wonderful and a good introduction to the wonderful people in Sri Lanka. Clean and comfortable, spacious and very convenient.
